How is subliminal messaging affecting you?

Deciding What To Believe
Ziger Vault

It's no secret that subliminal messaging, and all the marketing that can stem from it, is a highly valued strategy for major corporations to master. These hidden messages, that are fabricated for financial and political gain, harbor the collective independence that many influential media outlets take advantage of today. Said media platforms are backed primarily by financial powerhouses, some of which control primary banking networks and therefore have endless power to continue funding their own agendas.

I believe that once upon a time media platforms practiced authenticity and integrity, but with the ever-so-alluring temptation of the dollar, a serious halt has been placed on these priorities. However, there are brief moments of unbiased fortune telling that seem to slip through the usual agendas. Yes, fortune telling sounds mythical and childish, but very specific events are being eluded to, and eventually some are being fulfilled in real world scenarios. Could it be just a trickling coincidence, caused by a statistical fluke? Or is it done with a purpose and intended to be decoded by those who might qualify to do so? I would prefer to believe that some very wise, genuine minds have a clear vision - to inform the public, rather than keep the people overwhelmingly shrouded in darkness. I do, though, understand that not everything is so black and white. A tremendous gray area occupies the region in between cold hard facts and blatant lies.

Having a source for meaningful news, whether it is hidden behind an alternate ego, or it is publicly available to everyone, is a key to successful research and staying informed. In a time where nations are severely divided into hundreds of equally stubborn and opposing groups, a factual conversation is hard to come by. If the ideas being fed to us through subliminal messaging were fostered and approached with an open mind, the possibility of a continental awakening presents itself in exciting fashion. More and more people are beginning to latch on to these ideas. They are dropping the popular stereotype that individuals seeking the truth, despite their methods of doing so, are not just scrambled-egg-brain conspirators.

Whether you believe in the idea that an altruistic Big Brother is looking out for us by providing snippets of truth or not, maintaining your own logistical arsenal of knowledge, relating to relevant events, ensures the safety of independent beliefs and a non-conforming platform to stand on.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
